PHOENIX - In an epic four-hour affair that saw nine lead changes and a combined 39 runs, Sun Devil Baseball (26-23, 14-13 Pac-12) outlasted the Washington Huskies (18-22-1, 9-15), 21-18, to take the rubber match of the series on Sunday afternoon at Phoenix Municipal Stadium.

The Sun Devils kicked the go-ahead field goal in the bottom of the eighth on a three-run shot from Ethan Mendoza to break an 18-18 tie and Ryan Schiefer was able to get the final out against UW's scorching hot AJ Guerrero, who represented the tying run at the plate to seal the victory and series win.
